  • don't drink juice, eat the fruit.
  • this happens to me sometimes when I work out...especially during Pilates. Usually drinking a good amount of water right when it starts helps me.
  • if you bake your bacon in the oven on a broiler pan, a lot of the fat renders away. I think it is about 70 calories a serving for turkey bacon.
  • I would burn a little extra tomorrow, but don't let it stress you out. 3500 calories = a pound, so you would need to eat 3500 more than maintenance to gain a pound. Just drink a lot of water tomorrow and move a little more.
  • because she isn't eating enough. It has nothing to do with what you eat. Calories are calories.
  • If you are replacing food calories with alcohol calories you could be headed down the road to some disordered eating. Drunkorexia...it's a thing. You can also lose weight by not eating if you are drinking, but I wouldn't recommend it. Try finding the root of your drinking problem before you focus on dieting...because 7-9…
  • It is great that your daughter knows the difference between good food and junk food, but please watch her so that she doesn't develop disordered eating. Speaking from personal experience, even something small like cutting out a food group or feeling guilty for eating waffle fries can lead to some big issue later on.…
  • each serving is only 90 calories, so when you replace 2 meals a day as recommended, you are at a pretty big deficit (unless your dinner is huge). I like the body by v shakes, and when I am out of my shakeology, or want a vanilla shake, I will do 3 scoops (instead of the usual 2), but really it is just another way to…
  • at least 10,000 steps per day and accurately (weighing and measuring) logging your food
  • Anytime to start to drastically cut out a food group things can get tricky (hello Orthorexia). I eat what I want and just stay within my goals. I don't need the added stress of worrying about being perfect all the time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthorexia_nervosa (its wikipedia, so yes, I know it isn't 100% accurate.…
  • My M-I-L always notices, but I think she might imagine that I am fatter than I actually am, so I always look lighter to her.
  • I have never heard of falling asleep being a celiac sign, but that doesn't mean it's not. There are a lot of weird reactions. I would go strict gluten free for a week, and keep a detailed journal of how you feel.
  • Over posters...or anyone who congratulates me on being under my daily calories. I don't think anyone should encourage people to eat less than your goals.
  • Nothing. Gluten is the protein found in wheat. 100% whole wheat bread isn't bad for you unless you eat a loaf at a time. All things in moderation.
  • When I started tracking my ovulation, I notice I am ravenous the week I ovulate. Like- it doesn't matter what I eat, there is never enough food. Maybe it is hormonal? I also try to eat my TDEE-20%, and ovulation week it is still not enough food, but other weeks I am just fine and frequently have 100-200 calories left over…
  • when I mix it up with weights cardio or body weight exercises, I usually call it circuit training. Or I just let my fitbi track it.
  • Do not go gluten free for weight loss. If you have Celiac Disease or Gluten Intolerance, fine, but otherwise it is just a waste of money. All those gluten free foods are still processed and not any healthier. In fact, if you don't have Celiac, they will most likely do you even more harm. Don't be surprised if you gain…
  • Take her to a medical professional and unless they encourage you to give into this way of eating, don't. If she is hungry enough, she will eat.
  • If you are set at sedentary, count your work as exercise. If you are set at active, then no.
  • with 86 pounds to lose, if you eat less and move more, you will lose weight. Don't listen to all the anti cardio or anti weight lifting people out there. Just do what you enjoy and eat less than you use to. Once you get closer to your goal weight, you can start to focus more on a specific diet and work out regiment. What…
  • I use them as a post bootcamp meal...but I do end up eating again about 3 hours later. It is a great way to get some quick protein.
  • Think Thin Divine Dark Chocolate Coconut Bar. 170 calories. Who needs a candy bar when I have that for a snack.
  • your body does not have a reset button that goes off at midnight. when you eat doesn't matter, what you eat does. As for what you are eating, based on the foods you don't eat and how little you actually eat, I suspect you have some disordered eating and should consider professional help.
  • go back to the doctor and ask for physical therapy. I kept being told I had plantar fascitis, and it turned out I had tendonitis in my posterior tibialis muscle, and a calf that was full of knots. They can do ultra sound therapy and give you other treatments to help.
  • If you don't have any kidney disorders, if you drink enough water in addition, if it doesn't lead to the consumption of other bad foods, it is a better vice than other. However, if you have been off of it for 7 weeks, why get back on it? More importantly, why are you letting a food/beverage be the thing you look forward to…
  • Udi's Flax and Fiber Bread!!!! Amazing!!!!
  • Eat real fiber! Get a food scale, and plan your meals out a week at a time. Every Sunday I log the food I plan on eating through out the week. It makes it a lot easier to plan.
  • After looking at your diary, it looks like you have 3 big meals at regular meal times. I eat all day long. I would try breaking up your 3 meals into 6. Make snack bags that are 150-300 calories. If you have 1600 calories, that means you can have 5 meals and a snack. Also, it looks like you are having pretty calorie dense…
  • First of all, make sure you are set to 1 pound per week. Secondly, make sure you get lots of fiber, lean protein, and water. You also have to eat back your exercise calories. I am 100% positive, unless you are bed ridden, you need more than 1200 calories per day. I get bored in the afternoon, and that really adds to my…
